Second paper out for the week in @AnimalEcology, led by the wonderful @donaldmcknight2, @deborah_bower & @JamesUVanDyke, We show a lack of juveniles in surveys of long-lived animals, like turtles, does not necessarily indicate a threat. @UC_CCEG @UCSciTech

Our latest paper, out now in @PNASNews. We show that thermal tolerance mismatch models, derived from occurrence data, can predict the prevalence of the amphibian-killing chytrid fungus within and among frog species. @UC_CCEG @UCSciTech

Huge congratulations to Milad Esmaeilbeigi on his first PhD paper, out now! Milad found evidence for a metal disease refuge from the deadly #amphibian #chytrid fungus, possibly explaining persistence of some populations of threatened #frogs 🐸

New paper out today on the cover of Science!!! Parasitic cuckoos and their hosts are locked in an evolutionary arms-race that is driving speciation. Biological collections can answer big scientific questions – in this case, how do new species form? @CSIRO @MuseumGenomics

Amazing work @ejstringe_r !!
Boom-bust populations are a prominent part of Australia's unique ecosystems. But how do they maintain #genetic diversity when they face constant bottlenecks through the 'bust'? @ejstringe_r and colleagues reveal how, in their latest paper in @PNASNews!
